SIG Sauer P226 X-FIVE CO2 Metal Airsoft Pistol Kit

I purchased this as a training tool since I have a real Sig p226. This is my first Airsoft gun. My real gun cost $1000 so for $100 I didn't expect much but was very pleasantly surprised. I have shot about 1300 pellets through it so far and it is extremely accurate and rarely has an issue. The few issues I have had are from me double-racking resulting in a pellet getting stuck but is easily remedied. The CO2 cartridge gets you about 2 mags worth before it is really weak. For me it is worth it because I like the slide blowback for realism since I am training rather than battling with it. The magazines are very sturdy and it is easy to replace the CO2. I was expecting poor accuracy compared to a real pistol but this thing is on the money - tight groups and the sights are right on.

I purchased this in the combo deal and it would be great if a small amount of the proper type of oil was included. I have not oiled this yet but was told I should be putting a drop of Pellgunoil on every third CO2 cartridge.

Very impressed with the accuracy of this handgun. Also I liked the weight and feel of it - such an excellent clone to an actual Sig P226. Fit & finish is excellent and magazine loaded handily. This is going to be a great addition to my airgun collection.

Nothing. As close to perfect as i could have imagined.

You may get better economy than I did with mine, but so far one CO2 cartridge is needed (and mostly used up) after two magazines of BB's.

Love the: feel, weight, front sight, accuracy, and the look.

If the magazine follower could be locked down, loading would be MUCH EASIER!! [ and much less tedious].

See above.

Upgraded from a $35 Crossman pistol....even though the advertised fps are close....this shoots WAY FASTER than the older gun.....410 fps for sure.....love the feel, the heaviness of the metal, the blowback.....a little louder than I thought it would be. Magazine holds 27 vs my old one of 15.....

Make it easier to load BBs somehow....have to put in ONE and a time.....Also have the spring on the magazine have a notch point so you could load with both hands....

I bought Crossman AirGel and put a drop on each CO2 cart before putting in the magazine....so far I can leave it for over a week and it shoots like a brand new cartridge.....doesn't leak out any stuff if you use the Crossman Gel.

Extremely realistic in feel, looks and weight. Amazingly accurate.

The cap at the bottom of the magazine sits at an angle which is in line with the cant of the magazine - however the shooter is inclined to place the cap straight on - which could strip the cap. Once realized of course the shooter shouldn't make that mistake again.

The CO2 cartidges lasted about 2 magazines, almost 3 at best - but that is the cost of having a blow-back weapon. The weapon is a lot of fun to shoot - just make certain you have a supply of CO2 at the ready.

This airsoft pistol is very well made. It is very accurate and behaves like a real firearm.

This product needs a magazine loading tool. 6mm balls are hard for arthritic fingers to feed into the small hole. I would also like to know which other airsoft pistols in the Pyramyd Air catalog are made by the same company so that I can buy one and be sure of the quality.
